The BugHerd MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows AI clients to securely connect to BugHerd so you can access projects, tasks, comments, and project activity directly from your AI workflows.
Once connected, your AI client can interact with BugHerd using natural language.

Note: MCP support and setup steps may vary depending on the client and version you are using.
What You Can Do with BugHerd MCP
Once connected, you can use BugHerd directly from your AI client to:

Search and review tasks across projects
Create and update tasks
Add comments to tasks

Authentication & Permissions
BugHerd MCP uses secure OAuth authentication.
When connecting a client:
You’ll be redirected to the BugHerd authorization page
You’ll select the organization you want the client to access
You’ll approve the connection
The selected organization determines which BugHerd data the client can access.
Your access and permissions always reflect your existing BugHerd permissions.
Revoke MCP Access Tokens
You can revoke access to any connected MCP client at any time.
To manage or revoke tokens:
Go to BugHerd Settings
In the left sidebar, click MCP Access Tokens
Or open:
https://www.bugherd.com/settings/mcp-access-tokens
From this page, you can:
View active MCP connections
Revoke access tokens
Disconnect previously authorized clients
Revoking a token immediately removes that client’s access to BugHerd.
